Can you elaborate a bit? I was tempted by the TB-03 then heard about the TB-3 and thought that it fitted my budget better but reviews make it out to be just as good but with more variety of voices
It's not a good a live instrument IMHO.
You've got nine knobs to muck around with while a pattern is playing vs the TB-3's four (I'm not counting volume). I particularly don't like that the FX assigned only has a mix parameter. It's great playing around with the TB-03's time and mix on the inbuilt reverb / delay. I also like you have distortion always available as well.
With the new step program mode on the TB-03 they're pretty much identical to write on now.
There is a touchscreen XY mode on the TB-3 that lets you fiddle around but when it's active you can't switch patterns quickly.
There is a lot of different voices coupled with a wider range of FX but to be honest I just want it to sound like a 303
I'm glad I got it though and picked it up cheap 2nd hand (the prices have dived a bit since the TB-03 came out) because it's great to have 2 of them and I can do the more expressive stuff on the 03.
All IMHO obv
